I twisted my ankle early this fall and it wasn't getting better so I finally went to the Dr. and he says I have to wear shoes with orthodics to give a good arch and a firm shoe from now on.
We rarely wear shoes unless it's really cold and the no sandals or loafers rule he laid down is going to require me to really change as I got out of the habit of serious shoes when living in Hawaii. I sometimes have to remind hubby not to take his shoes off if the host doesn't because he does it without thinking as all houses in Hawaii are no shoes. A lot have cubbies or baskets next to the doors for peoples shoes.
I am one of those who needs constant arch support. But Trudy... try sandals made by Naot or Mephisto. Most have good arch support plus a cork footbed that over a bit of time conforms to the contour of your foot. They are pricey, but they work for inside the house and shopping, etc. (Not for pickleball or taking a walk, of course!)

I'm sure there are other brands as well, but these two are my favorites.
